Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to Craig, amazing father to Julia and Ethan and future Dad to our son Grayson.  The kids are all very lucky to have him as their Dad. 

 We celebrated this year with breakfast at our place and Craig took the kids bowling and we went to our 3-D ultrasound followed by dinner at one of Craig's favorites, Uncle Julio's.  After dinner Craig opened his presents and he got nice cards, golf shirts and new headphones.  

 

 

 

Ethan is now officially taller than Craig

Grayson's Crib ~ June 13th

Allison and Holly came over to help me put Grayson's crib together.  We ordered Jia's while Craig and Julia went out to dinner.  Craig ended up helping us finish the crib and luckily he figured out why the crib mattress was crooked.  They had put the stickers on the wrong side of one of the pieces.  Thanks to my great friends for helping me with Grayson's crib. 

29 Weeks ~ June 13th (Belly Pictures - Proofs)

Craig and I did belly pictures with an amazing photographer in the suburbs.  Allison highly recommended her for belly and baby pictures.  We scheduled Grayson's baby pictures for the first week in September.

Here are some of the proofs

Putting Together Grayson's Swing

While Craig and Julia were at a Cubs game I decided to put together the baby swing.  It was a little overwhelming at first, but I finally figured out how to put it together.  I only had to get Craig to help to tighten a screw so I could put two pieces together as I was not strong enough.  I was very proud of myself for doing 99% of it.  I hope Grayson loves it!

After Party at Tim & Mindy's

 After the baby shower we all went over to Tim & Mindy's house for a mini family reunion.  Frank and Jan came all the way from Buffalo, John and Cindy from Bloomington, Sue and Tommy from New Jersey and Bryan, Lauren and Aidan from Normal.  It meant the world to me to have everyone there, but of course I missed the family that could not be there.  (Side note:  Tim and Craig were in Chicago for the weekend because when they made their plans they didn't know everyone was coming in town.  They went to a Cubs game and a Bottle of Justus concert.)

Tim & Mindy have the best house for family parties...pool, two trampolines, jungle gym with rock wall, big patio, great house with lots of space and they live in the country so lots of land and fun things to do like 4 wheeling.
